The Locofnco press of (hia Stale is f llinff tip a lamentation over the removal of Mr. William Meimll from the office or bureau of Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Aa Mr. Mcdill, during tlio period of four months, from March to J'ine,evinced no disposition to remove himself from a position in which ho must have known hit room was preferable to bis company, it seems to us quite proper that he should have been removed, by the appointment ol another ami a better man in hia place- And it is ilao quite proper, aa it ia entirely natural, that hia Locofoeo brethren ahouldaet up a howl upon the occasion. We do not pretend to deny that Mr. Mcdill made a passable good Indian Commissioner. We know nothing to the oenlrary, and therefore hope audi may prove to have been the (act. But what then f Is it to be taken for granted that aome one else cannot he .i i ii J who would discharge those dutiea jual na well? Such would bo the natural Inference from the logic of those who aet up a whining about his removal. Thia Col. Medill of oura ia a notable " Democrat " and it leemi to bo understood that he was born into the world with hia mouth full of treasury pip, and a pnon in hia right hand to help himself to more withal, lie has been some sixteen yeara aciliien of Ohio, and has yet scarcely learned to relinh iho bread of a private citizen, it has a strange taste to his office-loving palate ! Ho came to Ohio a young adventurer, and brought willi him letters winch introduced him to the acquaintance and friendly consideration of Thomas KvriNo; and made a location in the town in which Mr. Ewing reside. He loon found a market for his ilucks by joining the hue and cry against hii neighbor, Mr. Ewing. And laix ! he turned his little capital to good account. Let us see: of the sixteen years ainco he enmo among us, he has been, aay four years in the Legislature, about six in Congress, and four in Mr Polk's Indian affairs office. That will do pretty well " for one of hia limited means." He has no reason to complain, surely, unless, at haa been suggested, he hai some indefeasible right to fatten upon the spoils of office. Much less reason had he to expect Mr. Ew-ing would furnish him a covert from the vulgarity of ii private station, or to cotopUin of in in fur (he withdrawal of official favor. Four Cents a Pound. The editor of the Statesman attempts to get out of the disgraceful position in which he has voluntarily placed himself in hia publication of the Follelt letter, ity stating that it waa sld out of the ollice of the Journal at four cents per pound. Without wailing to inquire, whether, if such were the case, the Statesman will make first cost in the trnnsaction, we must be allowed to state, that in our opinion there is not a word of truth in the story. No letters of any kind were ever sold out of this office by its proprietor or by any other authorized person, at "four cents per pound," or any other price. No man was ever found in felonioua possession of the property of another, who did not havo a lie ready to account for that possession. The manufacture of the Statesman, however, ia of the poorest, baldest kind. It exhibits all the propensities of the petty criminal, without the intellect necessary to ensure success. JUnaenrhiisctt Speclnl Election. We learn by telegraphic despatch trout Boston, Hint nt the special election for Representative in Congress from the 4th District, which camo ofT on Monday, DeJAi Thommo, Wing, received the highest number of votes ; though the vole cast for Mr. Palfrey, free soil, and for the locofnco candidate, prevented an election. Mr. Palfrey was the representative in the last Congress, elected by the Whig", as a Whig; but he waa entirely too much oft Wh-g to vote for hia colleague Mr. Winlhrop, for Speaker, or for Gen Taylor for President so he and Mr. Juiho U. Giil-ding went ' in a gang by themselves. " Itseems Mr. Palfrey's constituent! are disposed to let hint ga. A Nnil. We stated on Monday, that Ihe Locofocoa in Pennsylvania, were opposing such an amendment to the Constitution of that State as would provide for an Elective Judiciary. Anticipating that the Statesman would deny it, and charge us with falsehood, we yesterday published the evidence of what we bad slated. As we expected, contemporary with our publication itf the proof, out came the charge of 41 falsehood " in the Statesman. Aa the nail was driven in time, our neighbor may pull it out at his leisure. Does he want any more proof? Tar on whose Noae 1 The editor of Hie Statesman laughs at our arithmetic, because we eopird an article from the Lebanon Star, which, on the popular belief that the locusts i Dear in this country once in 17 years, said, " They tt- nearrd in 1815 making the proper intervals of 17 years to ltjlU," Now, vie would barely suggest to the mathematical prodigy that there may be two intervals of 17 years, between 1 115 and ItUU. Did you never think of it? Jlow's tar? 7" The Detroit Bulletin says: "Perry Joslin, whose death by drowning was announced by the Flint CUizent and copied by us, has written a letter to us, denying in the strongest terms, having met with any such catastrophe, ilu says he is not dead, and we suppose he knows as much about it as any one." D j " Items" of the New York Globe, confidently asserts that he has succeeded in getting possession of the remarkable stone which struck 11 Mr. William Patterson," and is satisfied that he will soon become possessed of information that will lead to the detection of the perpetrator of the violence. Q3"The Hamilton Bankt of North Scituate, (llhode Island,) haa failed. Gholeru Preventives. The New York Tribune gives the following whole some counsel respecting cholera winch, although written for New York, will answer very well fur the meridian of Ohio. One of the commonest pieoei of stupidity In civil ized communities is the taking of physio for the pur pose of keeping well. In the ularm caused bv the cholera this fatal fully ia carried to intolerable exoeaa. L'eopte tli in R Ihey limy tall sick, r fancy thev are so already, and rush to buy and swallow the last nostrum which they nave seen advertised in the papers, or v. (licit is purndi'd in staring handbills along the street. Who knows what amount of pills, panaceas, purees. and other diabolical inventions, not (it to be pitched into a common sewer, have been forced down the innocent throats of frightened simpletons in this city for the past fortnight? We say to all parties, Leave physic alone. Don t convert yourselves into short-lived depositories of :iuack medicines, whether prescribed hy the reiriilaror irregular faculty. Keep clean, he temperate and regular in your Intuits, eat moderately of ordinary whole-some food, and take no medicine buause wm think you had better, or because some advertisement cries it up as a preventive, or because a good-natured friend coun sels it. If you are sick, or think so. go to sonic doctor in whom you can confide, and follow his advice, but don't try to doctor yourself beforehand. Experiment as much as you please after the epidemic is over ; take nil Hie in a ten a medics from calomel and jalap down to Brandrelh's pills if ynu please, and recover limn their effects if you can ; but for Ihe present leave ph)io atone 1 Visit to the Cholera Hospital. We yesterday, in company with Jonah Martin. Ln.. President of the Hoard of Health, our partner j. W. S. Browne, and Wash. Martin, one of the Reporters of this piper, accompanied hy S. 1 1 anbury Month, M. U., lie allh Uilieer, veiled tile Cholera Hospital on Fourth alreet, below Western Row. W were there utroduced to Dr. Jordan, attending physician, and Dr. Gurretsuti, assistant physician. What we saw is as follows : In the lower room a large sized Irish girl, who ap peared to be doing well : we felt her pulse, it was rather quicker than when in go id health. A gentle perspiration appeared on tier face, fler eyo, as she looked up, waa quiie rational. She will recover. We stepped up stairs, and in the tirst room there were three patients, on ddferent beds, distributed around a room some fifteen feet square two were doing welt, but the third had no pulse, looked black in the face, and was as good as dead. He waa in the worst stage of collapse. We felt his wrist but not t uioiion of I ho vein occurred. In another room, sec ond story, directly in front of the above patients, we saw three more, earti on a bed, in dillWfiit parts of the room, anil all doing well, as it appeared to us. We It-It their on lit", which beat a little luster than nat ural, most of then) were perspiring gently. In the third story we saw another who appeared to be doing well. i lie suove shows eiirhl cases ot cholera (said to be) at the Cholera Hospital yesterday; but we saw nu vomiting, no one was purging, and no one had cramps. Indeed, not s murmur or groan was heard from any of them ! As far as we saw Ihey were still and eny and contented If they all had cholera, which is the supposition ; thev were all without pain, for not word was uttered hy any nf them. We felt the wrist of almost every one and bid each to bear up hnvely. Those accompanying us did the same. Mr. Martin is a most thorough and etlicteiit ollicer, and will make Ihe Board of Health efficient and useful. THURSDAY EVF.NINH, June 14, 1H40. Hiiorlina Intelligence I'xtrn. The Empire J.ckey Cluti, ol the city ol Columbus, haviiif nrganii d by the election of a lull corps ol tn tirti, met and lirktrtil olficially for the first time this season, yesterday precisely at II n clock. Hie regu hrity and promptitude with wliiuh Ihey commenced the diichare of their duties was highly creditable to their tpirit and pnwer of end urauce J and there is no reason ia doubt that the spring meeting," whirli is tn entiie off in a few days, will be highly satisfactory to all parties concerned. Progress of the Cholera. At New York, on Friday, there were new caies and U deaths. On Satuidiy, 4D nrw casei and ID deaths. On Huuday, new esses anil It) deaths. On Monday, 0 can s and I'J deaths. The diieaie does not seem to increase. At St. Louis, on Saturday and Sunday last, titer were 73 deaths from Cholrra. This is an increase. One death occurred at Pittsburgh on Sunday mghl from Cholera. There were three cases at U Inn on Saturday, and one death. Perpetuul Tenure Conscience, &e. The Kditor of the Klyria Courier seems to entertain aome novel notions of the tenure by which public ser vants hold their places, and the binding obligation of conscience, in matters pertaining to the exercise of the elective franchise. So we judge from the tenor of an editorial article in that paper of a few weeks since, from which we at the time clipped Ihe following ex. tract, for Ihe purpose of bestowing upon it a passing notice, but our attention was then diverted from the subject. We invite the attention of our con temporary to the isolated sentiment which ho has promulgated, and aak whether he recognize and still approves it? It so, there must be some measure of obligation on the part of the people toward their sorvants, obtaining in his region, of which we know nothing, and are not very ambitious of learning. The editor says : u Can a man who is sincerely devoted to the on use of freedom who is at heart opposed to the extension of sluverv, regarding tins as a question of paramount importance, conscientiously oppose the election of Joshua It. itiddings to a vest in Congress? Never !" Now, we do not understand this logic of the Courier. Wo would be very sorry to believe that there is a county in the Slate of Ohio, which cannot pro-duue from among its .own citizens, scores, yea hundreds of men, who are just as " sincerely devoted to the cause of freedom," as ever Mr. Joshua U. Gid-dings was. Men who are "at heart,'" as well a by hp,) "opposed to the extension of slavery," as honest, ly and with a much fixedness of purpose, as ever Mr. Joshua R Oiftdings was. Men who entertain these sentiments, and net upon them whenever occasion calls for action, without making merchandise of their priii. ciples, or turning them to account of political traffic, mid huckstering fur ollice. Believing that Mr. Joshua II. Giddinga does so prostitute his professions, we could, very " conscientiously and very cheerfully " oppose his election to a seat in Congress," were he a candidate within our bailiwick, and opposed by any one of these hundred other! to which we have refer- i red. We do not conceive that Mr. Giddmgs has ac-' quired any such perpetual right in the suffrages of a free people, that it would bo cither criminal or iiupat-: riotic in any other citizen to compete with him for a scat in Congress ; or that if would be any violation of good conscience in any citizen, regarding Mr. Gid-dings as we and thousands of other regard him as a politician in the market to oppose his election. We do not know of a public man, or a man of any prominence in Ohio, who is not heartily opposed to the extension of Slavery. In our Stale this sent! ment is as common as the air we breathe; and wu do not understand hy what aothurity Mr. Uiddings claims, or his friend claim for him, exclusive merit in these sentiments. To our ear such a claim sounds preposterous ; and more epecially when based upon conscience, and set up in behalf of one notoriously deficient in those qualite which mark the- patriot, the philanthropist, and the man of unsullied honor. UT The letter of Follelt never passed through ttie Post otlice Utattsman. We probably know far less than the late Postmaster nf Columbus, what letters, (especially political enes,) have paard through the Post-utficc, having been accustomed to bo oonie nl with receiving, reading and publishing omr oirn correspondence. We have heard of letlers written months ago, by our friends, which have never yet come to hand ; may vie be allowed to look forward to the timt when, under Ihe operation of the new dead letter decree, they will make their appearance in the Statesman?

List Saturday was a very busy day between the Farmers, Produce buyers, Merchants and horse-tra ders; and we di not recollect of ever seeing so many wagons on the street belure. People were hurrying t and fro intent on their own business, and among t lie in two of our moat worthy farmers, Hmry KhiIv and Hubtrt tninnbtll. who had hitched their hurae at Doddridge's corner, and gone on the even tenor of their way. A chap whose cash capital had got low, but still had enough of impudence to do a stiff business, very coolly mounted Mr. Campbell In true, and rode down to the Try Tavern stand, where he had the horse 'nut up, and borrowed tivc dollars for a tew minutes, leaving the animal in pledge till ho returned. He then ciune back, took a look at Rudy s horse, and mounted hitn(and alter pacing up and down street several times, with becoming earnestness, is he wanted a good horse and one that moved ngbt, he h-nally concluded he would do; and turning towards Columbus very deliberately rode off. In the evening the owners returned and fnund their horses gone, search waa made, and the one at the tavern traced up ; but several had seen the fellow "Irving" the ollo-r horse, and thought he concluded to lake him, as he tested his various gaits so thoroughly and finally rode nff. We believe nothing has been heard uf the gentleman since, P. 8 Since the above waa in type, wo lenrn that the hrse was taken to Williamsporl, aud sold for jftl.V, the purchaser discovering Ihe imposition when he rode the horse over to Circleville Monday morn 1 11 g, where tic was refloguized and cUimed.

Int. The L. S. I'un-ut Ollice. The renovation of the Patent Ollice under the present administration will duubtless be followed by valu able results to the people of the United States. It has been placed under Ihe superintendence of Thomas Kwbauk, Ksq., who is represented as a gentleman ol real science, and profoundly learned in those subject upon which he will be called to act; and the head of the Agricultural Bureau, Mr. F. G. Skinner, i well known as an able writer and an experienced and practical farmer. There is no branch of the public service in which there has hitherto been exhibited a greater amount ol pretention, combined with so little efficiency, aud so much of error. The reign of humbuggery commenced under I ho old incumbent, Ellsworth, who received Ihe ollice of Commissioner at the hands of Gen. Jack son ; and has been continued and extended under the administration ol Edmund Burke a man well quali fied to improre upon such a model. With these gen llemen, the great aim appears to have been to lny before the people of tin' United Slates a voluminous and imposing report. Instead of being I lie record of really new and valuable inventions and improvements, the report of the Commissioner of the Patent Ollice has been, in the main, a repertory of old inventions and exploded ducoveiies, a collection of unsatisfacto ry and unscientific experiments, aud a store house of unimportant and impracticable suggestions, calculated to impose upon the unscientific and to mislead Ihe enquirer after truth. Carried sway by any whim that Ntruek his fancy, Mr. Ellsworth imagined every thing to be new, which was so to him, and proclaimed to the world as discoveries, things which had been tried and found nf little value. Desirous to add to his own importance by the magnitude of (he volume, which issued uudr Ins name, Mr. Burke made his re port a collection of the most incongruous and trifling materials, and loaded it with eisays of no intrinsic val ue, upon subject of minor consequence. Neither of 1 these officers produced a standard or even a reliable woik, and the reason, don hi less, was, that they were selected to fill the office, on the score of political services, rather than of scientific ability. We have every reason to hope and believe that un der the present administration, (In duties uf the Pat ent ollice will be performed in a different manner ; and that t.e annual report which emanate from it if it contains fewer pages, and heralds fewer important discoveries will be such a document a will not mis lead those who are seeking after truth, nor givo a false direction to tho progress of discovery and improve ment.

I suspended a strip uf prepared paper against the inside uf a window upon which the afternoon sun was strongly shining. Ud. Exposed three strips of paper out of door to the free action of the atmosphere, but in the shade. One of these papers wus moist, one was very thin paper, the other of common fools cup. 3d. 1 took three glass tumblers, and in tho bottom of each placed strips of prepared paper. I then set one tumbler within the other so that hut asmall spaco was filled with the included air; in the upper tumbler likewise strip of paper but surrounded with powdered sulphur ; in tho third tumbler was strips of paper simply. These tumblers were all set out of door in tho shade, btit freely exposed to thu atmosphere. 4th. Strips of prepared paper were exposed upon my libray table. Upon examination after a few hours the results were ns follows; Thu paper used in the first experiment wus slightly colored. Those in No. 2 all discolored tho thin and moist piper most so.

As it i of the utmost importance in experiments of this kind lo have pure chemicals, 1 will sav that the iodide of potassium was that of the shops, but appar ently a pure article, which I ahull determine by the proper tests. Ill conclusion, I remark, for the last three days the barometer has been low, and thu hygrometer indicates a very large amount of moisture in the atiuonphcre, which, with the stale of the thermometer, very readily accounts for the oppressive weather we have had for the last few days.

The Cholera Ozone Discoveries ol llinl. The belief that Ihe Asiatic Cholera, and several other cognate diseases, depend, fur their prevalence, upon some principal orsu balance existing in, and form-ng a part of (he atmosphere which we breathe, is fast becoming general; aud the phenomena upon which Buch belief is founded, are attracting the attention of scientific men, throughout tho world. The difficulty which has met, at the threshold, every one who has entered upon an investigation of the causes nf the scourge, is, that there is no hypothesis, founded upon law which arc known In govern the advance or prevalence uf any defined contagious, malarious or communicable disease, that can account for all the phase ofthis,or for all the circumstances under which it has made ils appearance. The Cholera seems, both to the scientific and ihe unscientific beholder, to stand upon its own reason, and to act under the influence of laws, which are not only peculiarly its own, but appear nt times contradictory to themselves, and in violation of principles hitherto supposed to be established. He who has resided a few years in a malarious climate, and has had thu opportunity and the lis to to observe the effect upon Ihe human system, of an atmosphere charged with poison, in exciting, aggravating and modifying disease, can find no difficulty in the belief that an adequulo cause, equal in activity to that now in operation, may exist, concealed from view in an air apparently puro and wholesome. It doe nut require the ravages of an epidemic disease, such as nt intervals has visited every country and dime, to learn men their depeadance upon tho purity of tho atmosphere for their health and their lives. Every vicis situde of the seasons, every change in the temperature of the day, teaches tho same wisdom, and inculcate a lesson of truth, certified by an author whose works can never be questioned nor become obsolete. The suggestion that the prevalence of the Cholera ii attributable to something which is contained in t tic atmosphere, is no new one. Upon it has been based all the public mcasuies of counteraction that have ever taken place. Under this impression, sewer have been cleaned and lime aud other agents distributed by public bodies. Attempts have been made to detect tho irritating substance, and discussions have been liohL'it, to settle the question as to what waa its component ingredients. Somo have deemed it lo be animal t and Imvo detected to their own satisfaction, swurius of auimalcula), too small for the unassisted vision to discover, whose red and fiery appearance has given confirmation strong of the justice of tho suspicious which were entertained against tliein. Others have thought the poison tube rrgttultte, and have collected from the atmosphere a microscopic botany, which, in fancy, they have endowed with qualities far more powerful than those anciently attributed to the mandrake, the belladonna or thu hellebore. Some have supposed it to be an agent mixed with, and floating in, but independently uf the air ; and others, with perhaps belter reason on their side, hare concluded it lo be s substance in chemical combination with ibe atmosphere, moving with it, and governed by ils general laws. We are not prepared, at this moment, to give full credit to everything that is published in regard to Ihe discoveries of Professor Schon!eint an eminent German chemist, or the additional investigation upon their basis, by Dr. i!irdt of Chicago. 0.oke, the name which has been conferred upon that principle of Ihe atmosphere which, in the opinion of these gentlemen, is the exciting cause of disease, is a nnrly diswtrred, merely, not a utwhj crtntrd substance. Its production has been going on, in the Inborn tury of the skies, aince the foundation of thu world, and there is yet a lack of proof thai it is now elaborated with any more rapidity 1 ban it iir.s been in previous centuries, Depending for ilscxistenco upon electrical action, it remains to be shown whether that action is more in te 110 than formerly ; aud to go back to the primary necessities of the iiivesligaton, it needs tu bo proven that the substance itself', in any known natural combination with atmospheric air, is capable of producing those irritations which, in artificial admixtures it excites so readily. We had intended lo have said more upon this branch of the subject, but era deterred fur want of space. The sulphur remedy of Dr. Bird seems to owe at leant a part of its currency to a somewhat inexplicable connection with this nxone or stmospheiic influence. That there is in sulphur any quality, counteractive of the effects of ozone, or nl any other atmospheric poison, is not so clear. Empiricism has spent its ages in search of specifics; it has yet, probably, to find its first. Thu public ue of sulphur by conibuilion, ns has been advised by some improrers upon Dr. Bird's plan, would, it seems In us, bo eminently unadvisable j Its value as an internal remedy certainly needs more 1 proof than much previous trial has been able to afford. The probable dependence of the cholera upon atmospheric influence uf some sort, suggests a few thought to those who desire tn avoid it attacks. If Ihe exciting cause floats in the air around us, it is practically identical with aud produces upon the subject Ihe ef fects of poison. No person can avoid it influences ; and all that can be done is lo guard against its effects It is evident, that I.e who ii daily forced to receive into his system, small quantities of p imn, must depend upon the natural force of that system to resist the enemy, and avoid tho consequences. It follows that the more porlect the general health, the better is the system able to perform this necessary function. Cholera is the result of the failure of the system to perform this duty suh sitentio. Every one then, by the avoidance of extremes and excesses of every kind, and by taking such measures of food, labor and recreation as are beat fitted tn his constitution and bodily powers, can du much to preserve himself from an attack of tins " Scourge of Nations."

Dear Sir : Tho rond from the Falls to Lewiston pas-sea along the bank of Niagara river, and presents a continuation of the same grand features of nature, which add so much to thu magnificence of thu Falis' As you approach Lewiston, the elevated table of land which forms thu shore of Lake Erio and Niagara river, declines rapidly, and a beautiful region of country stretching ulf to the east and south, is presented lo the eye. It is in appearance a vast plain, aprend out as were like a map at your feet ; and is covered over with fields of wheat and corn, with here and there tho snug dwelling of some thriliy farmer peering from the midst of fruit tree now in full bloom, and adding an appearance of cheerfulness to the beauty of thu scene. Lewiston is a small but thriving village at tho head of steamboat navigation on Niagara river. On Ihe opposite shore ia Queenston, noted for the battle which was fought there during thu lust wtir with Great Bri-lain, iu which Mnj. (Jen.

From these two places, daily lines of boats run to Montreal, stopping at Ihe principal intermvdiatu points, along either shore.

They are composed mostly of rugged rocks which rise abruptly out ol thu water, and are partly covered with low cedars and dwarf pino. But occasionally one appears furnished with soil, and arrayed in frenlmess and beauty, affording a strikingcontrast to its more sterile neighbors. Some of the larger islands have small farms upon them, apparently well cultivated. Pres. cott is a small and not very thriving town, somewhat noted in Ihe tunc of the Canadian rebellion. The ruins of Ihe stone houses and the windmill, in which the "patriots" took refuge, still stand upon the bank of the river. Ogdenshurgh, 011 the American shore opposite, present the flourishing appearance which generally characterizes American towns and the country around it shows the marks of Yankee iuduj-try and thrift. The scenery upon the St. Lawrence, is not so grand and imposing, as that upon the Hudson ; it is, however, wild and varied and a voyage down it current i rendered particularly exciting, by the numerous rapids which are to be passed. Montreal is in every respect a French town. Tho streets are narrow and irregular, and the house pack, ed in upon all side as closely as possible, with little regard to architectural beauty. Several of the churches and other public buildings, are, however, of mag nificent proportion, and finished with taste. Those parts of Ihe city more recently built, evince a decided improvement in the style ol construction, and have sbout them a much more habitable air than the narrow lanes of the old town.

From tlio CiuubiuIi Albs, Epidemic Cholern - Traveling fa the people uj Linrtnnalt: In a stunt paper, two or three weeks since, I gavo a professional opinion against leaving the city to tivoid the Cholera. Every day s observation has convinced me of the correctness of thu advice, and at the same time shown thai Ihe tendency to fly is strong, and that the danger of being taken down with the disease dees not df ler those who had planned excursions ol business or pleasure, from carrying them out. It may be well, then, lo explain now and why it is, llial thorn who travel at lliia tune are in more danger from Hie epidemic, than if they remained at home. I. f her cannot regulate their diet ; and as traveling generally increases the appi'hte, Ihey arc in danger of occasionally eating ton much, as well as of eating things improper lo bo euten when their systems are inbued w.th the ch dera poison. U 1 hey are liable to lose sleep, and tew things would be more likely to invite an attack thin the weariness produced by that cause. 3. Traveling is apt to occasion constipation nf the bowels. It is a fati I error that such a habit is a preservative against that disease. It is only better than the opposite condition. Safety lies in perfect tegular-ity, as much a possible Without the aid of medirine. 4. But there is anot'ier aource of danger in traveling, greater than all these taken together. It is thu motion of the Vehicle, be it lesm boat, stage-coach, or rail-road car; but especially the two former. Tho rucking and swinging of a stage coach or a boat, tends to divtnrb the stomach. Many persons cannot ride in ihe former without being made sick. Those who voyage upon the Ultra are very generally mode lick. On the Oluo and Missisip-)i rivers, the motion produce less effect, but it 1 far from being harmless. It renders the stomach irritable, if it have been previously acted on by Ihe remote cause of cholera, and thus tends to bring nu an attack, which might not have occurred at all, if Ihe person had remained at home in Ins ordinary buMiicss. It also brings on earlier and more fv lal vomiting than would otherwise take plarc. The mortality on board our stesui-boata haa been frightful. Many of the in have, in a few days, Insl a tenth patlof all who were on board. Ths has been ascribed Iu want of timely attention. That want would explain the great mortality in proportion to the number of sick, but as the disease is not contagious, it doe not account for tlio great 11 u 111 ler of case. One of Ihe Pittsburgh packets which left here three or four day a ago, lust seven of her passengers or crew before she readied that place 1 know not the number of persona on board, hut sup-p "Sing il IT.j, the loss would be four out of a hundred. Now, when the disease invaded us frein lKl'J to '31, through three yrars, it only destroyed two int of a hundred. The di It ere nee needs no comment. One of the victims of thn voyage juat mentioned, was a young lady from ihe east, (ho daughter of a deceased Naval ollicer of high rank, whose family, in a state of alarm, had written to her to return. H r friends here urged her to remain. A ph aictan warned her against steamboat traveling but she persevered. She left here in perfect health, and a telegraphic communication from Wheeling lat evening, announced that she waa brought into that city a corpse, from cholera. Had she remained here, alio would have been less likely to ho attacked ; and had the disease sened her, it might, by that timely aid winch cannot be had on board steamboats, have been arrested and her life preserved. Those who desire lo take country exercise, should maae excursions and return the same day, or the next. A trip to and from Fort Aneisni, Xema, the Yellow Springs or Springfield, may be made in one day, and relresli ing excicise be had, without getting far from home, mj'e home. While the pestilence prevails, every man's house, whether it be a cabin or a mansion, should bo regarded aa his citadel ; Ihere he can best contend with the destroyer. Dak.

The problem of the position of the sources of the Nile, which during in many age ha eluded all inquiry, seems at length in a fair way of being solved. The Rev.

The occurrence look place on Saturday last, the lfth of May, when ihe Queen was returning from a drawing room she had held in celebration of her birth day. The spot chosen was within 1H yards of that selected for a similar attempt 10 years back by the lad Oxford. The culnrit was a man named Ham ilton, a bricklayer's laborer ai d a native of Limerick. His weapon was only a Slimll m.ket ni.l.il with mi old flint lock, and it ha been satisfactorily ascertained that it was not charged with anything but powder. He has therefore merely been committed to Newirato for a misdemeanor, the punishment of which will be im prisonment and whipping. He was obstinately silrtit during Ins examination, uud exhibited that sullenncss which is common to such offenders. GOLD DISCOVERIES. A remarkable story hus been brought from Port I'hilip, South Australia, of gold having been discovered by a shepherd boy in a district called the Pyrenees. He is alleged to have brought two pieces, one weighing ii'J and the other V,4 oz, to Melbourne, but he stea my ret uses lo communicate the nrecise locality wnero the deposit is to be found. The tnatier leeuiB greatly like a hoax, but there i no question as to the two pieces of gold having been brought, and the conse quence is that all the people in tho neighborhood havo started off on exploring expeditious, and an exeilenien t prevails precisely similar to what wus seen at Monterey and San Francisco when tho first accounts came down from Mr. Sutler. In a letter from Labunn also, written by Captain Uusken, it is mentioned that at Sarawak, in the inte rior, rather large quantities of gold had lately beenobtained. IRELAND. From Ireland the accounts again resrint le those that i' re received durinff the pestilence of 1847. At llnllintobe andSktbbcreen the destitution, it is affirm- d hy the central relief committee, fur surpasses auv thing the country has yet endured. The Protestant rector of Ballinrube, in a letter lo Lord John Russell, quotes a case iu which, a shipwrecked body having iieen cast on shore, the Heart and liver were extracted uud eaten by a starving family. He also mentions an instance of a girl carrying the dead body of her mother three miles upon her back to Iho union, to obtain a cotKn and burial. The mother had died of cholera, aud the girl also died on the following day. FRANCE THE ELECTIONS.

The department of ('reuse ha chosen an operative mason, who, it is said, may still be seen daily 111 Paris at work with Ins trowel, on a new house in thn neighborhood of the Pantheon. Lainarline, who re ceived in Irt4g more tiian two millions of votes, and who wa elected by eleven departments, has now not been elected in any quarter not even the department of his birth. Msrrast of the A'ahvnaL and Dupotii de I'Eure, the aged President of the Provisional Government, as well as many others of the old set, hare also been excluded. The new assembly is to be convened on Monday next, the Vth of May.

From Austria we learn that outbreaks are still feared at Prague and Vienna. The Vienna papers have been warned "for the last lime" not to publish any news uf Ihe war, and so great is the alarm with regard to the Hungarians that atrong intreiiehmenta are thrown up around Ihe city to enable it to stand a siege. The Enqieror ha issued a ludicruu proclamation In the Hungarians, ascribing the war lo Ihe intrigues of a criminal " faction," and adjuring Ihein to welcome ihe Russians as friends. It is now beyond question thatall tho Austrian generals, as well as Jellaehich and the Croatian, have Iieen utterly routed. There are strong rumors loo of (he Russians having been terribly handled by Bern in tho defiles of RoihenUiiiriu According In a proclamation issued by Kossuth at Debreczin on tho lth of May, which has since, tn a certain extent, be ell continued, 61 '(Hi of them had surrendered to Bern at Kri-van on the 7th of May, and 30,000 three days afterwards at Arsa, their arms, cannon, horse and ammunition all falling into thn possession of the Hungarians.

We do not pretend to deny that Mr. Mcdill made a passable good Indian Commissioner. We know nothing to the oenlrary, and therefore hope audi may prove to have been the (act. But what then f Is it to be taken for granted that aome one else cannot he .i i ii J who would discharge those dutiea jual na well? Such would bo the natural Inference from the logic of those who aet up a whining about his removal. Thia Col. Medill of oura ia a notable " Democrat " and it leemi to bo understood that he was born into the world with hia mouth full of treasury pip, and a pnon in hia right hand to help himself to more withal, lie has been some sixteen yeara aciliien of Ohio, and has yet scarcely learned to relinh iho bread of a private citizen, it has a strange taste to his office-loving palate ! Ho came to Ohio a young adventurer, and brought willi him letters winch introduced him to the acquaintance and friendly consideration of Thomas KvriNo; and made a location in the town in which Mr. Ewing reside. He loon found a market for his ilucks by joining the hue and cry against hii neighbor, Mr. Ewing. And laix ! he turned his little capital to good account. Let us see: of the sixteen years ainco he enmo among us, he has been, aay four years in the Legislature, about six in Congress, and four in Mr Polk's Indian affairs office. That will do pretty well " for one of hia limited means." He has no reason to complain, surely, unless, at haa been suggested, he hai some indefeasible right to fatten upon the spoils of office. Much less reason had he to expect Mr. Ew-ing would furnish him a covert from the vulgarity of ii private station, or to cotopUin of in in fur (he withdrawal of official favor. Four Cents a Pound. The editor of the Statesman attempts to get out of the disgraceful position in which he has voluntarily placed himself in hia publication of the Follelt letter, ity stating that it waa sld out of the ollice of the Journal at four cents per pound. Without wailing to inquire, whether, if such were the case, the Statesman will make first cost in the trnnsaction, we must be allowed to state, that in our opinion there is not a word of truth in the story. No letters of any kind were ever sold out of this office by its proprietor or by any other authorized person, at "four cents per pound," or any other price. No man was ever found in felonioua possession of the property of another, who did not havo a lie ready to account for that possession. The manufacture of the Statesman, however, ia of the poorest, baldest kind. It exhibits all the propensities of the petty criminal, without the intellect necessary to ensure success.

Mr. Palfrey was the representative in the last Congress, elected by the Whig", as a Whig; but he waa entirely too much oft Wh-g to vote for hia colleague Mr. Winlhrop, for Speaker, or for Gen Taylor for President so he and Mr. Juiho U.

The New York Tribune gives the following whole some counsel respecting cholera winch, although written for New York, will answer very well fur the meridian of Ohio.

We say to all parties, Leave physic alone. Don t convert yourselves into short-lived depositories of :iuack medicines, whether prescribed hy the reiriilaror irregular faculty. Keep clean, he temperate and regular in your Intuits, eat moderately of ordinary whole-some food, and take no medicine buause wm think you had better, or because some advertisement cries it up as a preventive, or because a good-natured friend coun sels it. If you are sick, or think so. go to sonic doctor in whom you can confide, and follow his advice, but don't try to doctor yourself beforehand. Experiment as much as you please after the epidemic is over ; take nil Hie in a ten a medics from calomel and jalap down to Brandrelh's pills if ynu please, and recover limn their effects if you can ; but for Ihe present leave ph)io atone 1 Visit to the Cholera Hospital.

A gentle perspiration appeared on tier face, fler eyo, as she looked up, waa quiie rational. She will recover. We stepped up stairs, and in the tirst room there were three patients, on ddferent beds, distributed around a room some fifteen feet square two were doing welt, but the third had no pulse, looked black in the face, and was as good as dead. He waa in the worst stage of collapse. We felt his wrist but not t uioiion of I ho vein occurred. In another room, sec ond story, directly in front of the above patients, we saw three more, earti on a bed, in dillWfiit parts of the room, anil all doing well, as it appeared to us.

The Kditor of the Klyria Courier seems to entertain aome novel notions of the tenure by which public ser vants hold their places, and the binding obligation of conscience, in matters pertaining to the exercise of the elective franchise. So we judge from the tenor of an editorial article in that paper of a few weeks since, from which we at the time clipped Ihe following ex. tract, for Ihe purpose of bestowing upon it a passing notice, but our attention was then diverted from the subject. We invite the attention of our con temporary to the isolated sentiment which ho has promulgated, and aak whether he recognize and still approves it? It so, there must be some measure of obligation on the part of the people toward their sorvants, obtaining in his region, of which we know nothing, and are not very ambitious of learning. The editor says : u Can a man who is sincerely devoted to the on use of freedom who is at heart opposed to the extension of sluverv, regarding tins as a question of paramount importance, conscientiously oppose the election of Joshua It. itiddings to a vest in Congress? Never !" Now, we do not understand this logic of the Courier. Wo would be very sorry to believe that there is a county in the Slate of Ohio, which cannot pro-duue from among its .own citizens, scores, yea hundreds of men, who are just as " sincerely devoted to the cause of freedom," as ever Mr. Joshua U. Gid-dings was. Men who are "at heart,'" as well a by hp,) "opposed to the extension of slavery," as honest, ly and with a much fixedness of purpose, as ever Mr. Joshua R Oiftdings was. Men who entertain these sentiments, and net upon them whenever occasion calls for action, without making merchandise of their priii. ciples, or turning them to account of political traffic, mid huckstering fur ollice. Believing that Mr. Joshua II. Giddinga does so prostitute his professions, we could, very " conscientiously and very cheerfully " oppose his election to a seat in Congress," were he a candidate within our bailiwick, and opposed by any one of these hundred other! to which we have refer- i red. We do not conceive that Mr. Giddmgs has ac-' quired any such perpetual right in the suffrages of a free people, that it would bo cither criminal or iiupat-: riotic in any other citizen to compete with him for a scat in Congress ; or that if would be any violation of good conscience in any citizen, regarding Mr. Gid-dings as we and thousands of other regard him as a politician in the market to oppose his election. We do not know of a public man, or a man of any prominence in Ohio, who is not heartily opposed to the extension of Slavery. In our Stale this sent! ment is as common as the air we breathe; and wu do not understand hy what aothurity Mr. Uiddings claims, or his friend claim for him, exclusive merit in these sentiments. To our ear such a claim sounds preposterous ; and more epecially when based upon conscience, and set up in behalf of one notoriously deficient in those qualite which mark the- patriot, the philanthropist, and the man of unsullied honor.

People were hurrying t and fro intent on their own business, and among t lie in two of our moat worthy farmers, Hmry KhiIv and Hubtrt tninnbtll. who had hitched their hurae at Doddridge's corner, and gone on the even tenor of their way. A chap whose cash capital had got low, but still had enough of impudence to do a stiff business, very coolly mounted Mr. Campbell In true, and rode down to the Try Tavern stand, where he had the horse 'nut up, and borrowed tivc dollars for a tew minutes, leaving the animal in pledge till ho returned.

It has been placed under Ihe superintendence of Thomas Kwbauk, Ksq., who is represented as a gentleman ol real science, and profoundly learned in those subject upon which he will be called to act; and the head of the Agricultural Bureau, Mr. F. G. Skinner, i well known as an able writer and an experienced and practical farmer. There is no branch of the public service in which there has hitherto been exhibited a greater amount ol pretention, combined with so little efficiency, aud so much of error. The reign of humbuggery commenced under I ho old incumbent, Ellsworth, who received Ihe ollice of Commissioner at the hands of Gen. Jack son ; and has been continued and extended under the administration ol Edmund Burke a man well quali fied to improre upon such a model. With these gen llemen, the great aim appears to have been to lny before the people of tin' United Slates a voluminous and imposing report. Instead of being I lie record of really new and valuable inventions and improvements, the report of the Commissioner of the Patent Ollice has been, in the main, a repertory of old inventions and exploded ducoveiies, a collection of unsatisfacto ry and unscientific experiments, aud a store house of unimportant and impracticable suggestions, calculated to impose upon the unscientific and to mislead Ihe enquirer after truth. Carried sway by any whim that Ntruek his fancy, Mr. Ellsworth imagined every thing to be new, which was so to him, and proclaimed to the world as discoveries, things which had been tried and found nf little value. Desirous to add to his own importance by the magnitude of (he volume, which issued uudr Ins name, Mr. Burke made his re port a collection of the most incongruous and trifling materials, and loaded it with eisays of no intrinsic val ue, upon subject of minor consequence. Neither of 1 these officers produced a standard or even a reliable woik, and the reason, don hi less, was, that they were selected to fill the office, on the score of political services, rather than of scientific ability. We have every reason to hope and believe that un der the present administration, (In duties uf the Pat ent ollice will be performed in a different manner ; and that t.e annual report which emanate from it if it contains fewer pages, and heralds fewer important discoveries will be such a document a will not mis lead those who are seeking after truth, nor givo a false direction to tho progress of discovery and improve ment.

The Cholera Ozone Discoveries ol llinl. The belief that Ihe Asiatic Cholera, and several other cognate diseases, depend, fur their prevalence, upon some principal orsu balance existing in, and form-ng a part of (he atmosphere which we breathe, is fast becoming general; aud the phenomena upon which Buch belief is founded, are attracting the attention of scientific men, throughout tho world. The difficulty which has met, at the threshold, every one who has entered upon an investigation of the causes nf the scourge, is, that there is no hypothesis, founded upon law which arc known In govern the advance or prevalence uf any defined contagious, malarious or communicable disease, that can account for all the phase ofthis,or for all the circumstances under which it has made ils appearance. The Cholera seems, both to the scientific and ihe unscientific beholder, to stand upon its own reason, and to act under the influence of laws, which are not only peculiarly its own, but appear nt times contradictory to themselves, and in violation of principles hitherto supposed to be established. He who has resided a few years in a malarious climate, and has had thu opportunity and the lis to to observe the effect upon Ihe human system, of an atmosphere charged with poison, in exciting, aggravating and modifying disease, can find no difficulty in the belief that an adequulo cause, equal in activity to that now in operation, may exist, concealed from view in an air apparently puro and wholesome. It doe nut require the ravages of an epidemic disease, such as nt intervals has visited every country and dime, to learn men their depeadance upon tho purity of tho atmosphere for their health and their lives. Every vicis situde of the seasons, every change in the temperature of the day, teaches tho same wisdom, and inculcate a lesson of truth, certified by an author whose works can never be questioned nor become obsolete. The suggestion that the prevalence of the Cholera ii attributable to something which is contained in t tic atmosphere, is no new one. Upon it has been based all the public mcasuies of counteraction that have ever taken place. Under this impression, sewer have been cleaned and lime aud other agents distributed by public bodies. Attempts have been made to detect tho irritating substance, and discussions have been liohL'it, to settle the question as to what waa its component ingredients. Somo have deemed it lo be animal t and Imvo detected to their own satisfaction, swurius of auimalcula), too small for the unassisted vision to discover, whose red and fiery appearance has given confirmation strong of the justice of tho suspicious which were entertained against tliein. Others have thought the poison tube rrgttultte, and have collected from the atmosphere a microscopic botany, which, in fancy, they have endowed with qualities far more powerful than those anciently attributed to the mandrake, the belladonna or thu hellebore. Some have supposed it to be an agent mixed with, and floating in, but independently uf the air ; and others, with perhaps belter reason on their side, hare concluded it lo be s substance in chemical combination with ibe atmosphere, moving with it, and governed by ils general laws. We are not prepared, at this moment, to give full credit to everything that is published in regard to Ihe discoveries of Professor Schon!eint an eminent German chemist, or the additional investigation upon their basis, by Dr. i!irdt of Chicago. 0.oke, the name which has been conferred upon that principle of Ihe atmosphere which, in the opinion of these gentlemen, is the exciting cause of disease, is a nnrly diswtrred, merely, not a utwhj crtntrd substance. Its production has been going on, in the Inborn tury of the skies, aince the foundation of thu world, and there is yet a lack of proof thai it is now elaborated with any more rapidity 1 ban it iir.s been in previous centuries, Depending for ilscxistenco upon electrical action, it remains to be shown whether that action is more in te 110 than formerly ; aud to go back to the primary necessities of the iiivesligaton, it needs tu bo proven that the substance itself', in any known natural combination with atmospheric air, is capable of producing those irritations which, in artificial admixtures it excites so readily. We had intended lo have said more upon this branch of the subject, but era deterred fur want of space. The sulphur remedy of Dr. Bird seems to owe at leant a part of its currency to a somewhat inexplicable connection with this nxone or stmospheiic influence. That there is in sulphur any quality, counteractive of the effects of ozone, or nl any other atmospheric poison, is not so clear. Empiricism has spent its ages in search of specifics; it has yet, probably, to find its first. Thu public ue of sulphur by conibuilion, ns has been advised by some improrers upon Dr. Bird's plan, would, it seems In us, bo eminently unadvisable j Its value as an internal remedy certainly needs more 1 proof than much previous trial has been able to afford. The probable dependence of the cholera upon atmospheric influence uf some sort, suggests a few thought to those who desire tn avoid it attacks. If Ihe exciting cause floats in the air around us, it is practically identical with aud produces upon the subject Ihe ef fects of poison. No person can avoid it influences ; and all that can be done is lo guard against its effects It is evident, that I.e who ii daily forced to receive into his system, small quantities of p imn, must depend upon the natural force of that system to resist the enemy, and avoid tho consequences. It follows that the more porlect the general health, the better is the system able to perform this necessary function. Cholera is the result of the failure of the system to perform this duty suh sitentio. Every one then, by the avoidance of extremes and excesses of every kind, and by taking such measures of food, labor and recreation as are beat fitted tn his constitution and bodily powers, can du much to preserve himself from an attack of tins " Scourge of Nations."

Dear Sir : Tho rond from the Falls to Lewiston pas-sea along the bank of Niagara river, and presents a continuation of the same grand features of nature, which add so much to thu magnificence of thu Falis' As you approach Lewiston, the elevated table of land which forms thu shore of Lake Erio and Niagara river, declines rapidly, and a beautiful region of country stretching ulf to the east and south, is presented lo the eye. It is in appearance a vast plain, aprend out as were like a map at your feet ; and is covered over with fields of wheat and corn, with here and there tho snug dwelling of some thriliy farmer peering from the midst of fruit tree now in full bloom, and adding an appearance of cheerfulness to the beauty of thu scene. Lewiston is a small but thriving village at tho head of steamboat navigation on Niagara river. On Ihe opposite shore ia Queenston, noted for the battle which was fought there during thu lust wtir with Great Bri-lain, iu which Mnj. (Jen.

They are composed mostly of rugged rocks which rise abruptly out ol thu water, and are partly covered with low cedars and dwarf pino. But occasionally one appears furnished with soil, and arrayed in frenlmess and beauty, affording a strikingcontrast to its more sterile neighbors. Some of the larger islands have small farms upon them, apparently well cultivated. Pres. cott is a small and not very thriving town, somewhat noted in Ihe tunc of the Canadian rebellion.

The scenery upon the St. Lawrence, is not so grand and imposing, as that upon the Hudson ; it is, however, wild and varied and a voyage down it current i rendered particularly exciting, by the numerous rapids which are to be passed. Montreal is in every respect a French town. Tho streets are narrow and irregular, and the house pack, ed in upon all side as closely as possible, with little regard to architectural beauty.

From tlio CiuubiuIi Albs, Epidemic Cholern - Traveling fa the people uj Linrtnnalt: In a stunt paper, two or three weeks since, I gavo a professional opinion against leaving the city to tivoid the Cholera. Every day s observation has convinced me of the correctness of thu advice, and at the same time shown thai Ihe tendency to fly is strong, and that the danger of being taken down with the disease dees not df ler those who had planned excursions ol business or pleasure, from carrying them out. It may be well, then, lo explain now and why it is, llial thorn who travel at lliia tune are in more danger from Hie epidemic, than if they remained at home. I. f her cannot regulate their diet ; and as traveling generally increases the appi'hte, Ihey arc in danger of occasionally eating ton much, as well as of eating things improper lo bo euten when their systems are inbued w.th the ch dera poison. U 1 hey are liable to lose sleep, and tew things would be more likely to invite an attack thin the weariness produced by that cause. 3. Traveling is apt to occasion constipation nf the bowels. It is a fati I error that such a habit is a preservative against that disease. It is only better than the opposite condition. Safety lies in perfect tegular-ity, as much a possible Without the aid of medirine. 4. But there is anot'ier aource of danger in traveling, greater than all these taken together. It is thu motion of the Vehicle, be it lesm boat, stage-coach, or rail-road car; but especially the two former. Tho rucking and swinging of a stage coach or a boat, tends to divtnrb the stomach. Many persons cannot ride in ihe former without being made sick. Those who voyage upon the Ultra are very generally mode lick. On the Oluo and Missisip-)i rivers, the motion produce less effect, but it 1 far from being harmless. It renders the stomach irritable, if it have been previously acted on by Ihe remote cause of cholera, and thus tends to bring nu an attack, which might not have occurred at all, if Ihe person had remained at home in Ins ordinary buMiicss. It also brings on earlier and more fv lal vomiting than would otherwise take plarc. The mortality on board our stesui-boata haa been frightful. Many of the in have, in a few days, Insl a tenth patlof all who were on board. Ths has been ascribed Iu want of timely attention. That want would explain the great mortality in proportion to the number of sick, but as the disease is not contagious, it doe not account for tlio great 11 u 111 ler of case. One of Ihe Pittsburgh packets which left here three or four day a ago, lust seven of her passengers or crew before she readied that place 1 know not the number of persona on board, hut sup-p "Sing il IT.j, the loss would be four out of a hundred. Now, when the disease invaded us frein lKl'J to '31, through three yrars, it only destroyed two int of a hundred. The di It ere nee needs no comment. One of the victims of thn voyage juat mentioned, was a young lady from ihe east, (ho daughter of a deceased Naval ollicer of high rank, whose family, in a state of alarm, had written to her to return. H r friends here urged her to remain. A ph aictan warned her against steamboat traveling but she persevered. She left here in perfect health, and a telegraphic communication from Wheeling lat evening, announced that she waa brought into that city a corpse, from cholera. Had she remained here, alio would have been less likely to ho attacked ; and had the disease sened her, it might, by that timely aid winch cannot be had on board steamboats, have been arrested and her life preserved. Those who desire lo take country exercise, should maae excursions and return the same day, or the next. A trip to and from Fort Aneisni, Xema, the Yellow Springs or Springfield, may be made in one day, and relresli ing excicise be had, without getting far from home, mj'e home. While the pestilence prevails, every man's house, whether it be a cabin or a mansion, should bo regarded aa his citadel ; Ihere he can best contend with the destroyer. Dak.

The problem of the position of the sources of the Nile, which during in many age ha eluded all inquiry, seems at length in a fair way of being solved. The Rev.

The occurrence look place on Saturday last, the lfth of May, when ihe Queen was returning from a drawing room she had held in celebration of her birth day. The spot chosen was within 1H yards of that selected for a similar attempt 10 years back by the lad Oxford. The culnrit was a man named Ham ilton, a bricklayer's laborer ai d a native of Limerick. His weapon was only a Slimll m.ket ni.l.il with mi old flint lock, and it ha been satisfactorily ascertained that it was not charged with anything but powder. He has therefore merely been committed to Newirato for a misdemeanor, the punishment of which will be im prisonment and whipping. He was obstinately silrtit during Ins examination, uud exhibited that sullenncss which is common to such offenders. GOLD DISCOVERIES. A remarkable story hus been brought from Port I'hilip, South Australia, of gold having been discovered by a shepherd boy in a district called the Pyrenees. He is alleged to have brought two pieces, one weighing ii'J and the other V,4 oz, to Melbourne, but he stea my ret uses lo communicate the nrecise locality wnero the deposit is to be found. The tnatier leeuiB greatly like a hoax, but there i no question as to the two pieces of gold having been brought, and the conse quence is that all the people in tho neighborhood havo started off on exploring expeditious, and an exeilenien t prevails precisely similar to what wus seen at Monterey and San Francisco when tho first accounts came down from Mr. Sutler. In a letter from Labunn also, written by Captain Uusken, it is mentioned that at Sarawak, in the inte rior, rather large quantities of gold had lately beenobtained. IRELAND. From Ireland the accounts again resrint le those that i' re received durinff the pestilence of 1847. At llnllintobe andSktbbcreen the destitution, it is affirm- d hy the central relief committee, fur surpasses auv thing the country has yet endured. The Protestant rector of Ballinrube, in a letter lo Lord John Russell, quotes a case iu which, a shipwrecked body having iieen cast on shore, the Heart and liver were extracted uud eaten by a starving family. He also mentions an instance of a girl carrying the dead body of her mother three miles upon her back to Iho union, to obtain a cotKn and burial. The mother had died of cholera, aud the girl also died on the following day. FRANCE THE ELECTIONS. The result uf the elections has proved less aprera- blu to the so-called friends of order than had been con templated.

Msrrast of the A'ahvnaL and Dupotii de I'Eure, the aged President of the Provisional Government, as well as many others of the old set, hare also been excluded. The new assembly is to be convened on Monday next, the Vth of May.

From Austria we learn that outbreaks are still feared at Prague and Vienna. The Vienna papers have been warned "for the last lime" not to publish any news uf Ihe war, and so great is the alarm with regard to the Hungarians that atrong intreiiehmenta are thrown up around Ihe city to enable it to stand a siege. The Enqieror ha issued a ludicruu proclamation In the Hungarians, ascribing the war lo Ihe intrigues of a criminal " faction," and adjuring Ihein to welcome ihe Russians as friends. It is now beyond question thatall tho Austrian generals, as well as Jellaehich and the Croatian, have Iieen utterly routed. There are strong rumors loo of (he Russians having been terribly handled by Bern in tho defiles of RoihenUiiiriu According In a proclamation issued by Kossuth at Debreczin on tho lth of May, which has since, tn a certain extent, be ell continued, 61 '(Hi of them had surrendered to Bern at Kri-van on the 7th of May, and 30,000 three days afterwards at Arsa, their arms, cannon, horse and ammunition all falling into thn possession of the Hungarians.
